ServerTech Exporter

A Prometheus exporter that collects metrics from ServerTech PDUs using the ServerTech JAWS API.

Getting Started

Start servertech_exporter with valid flags. To then collect the metrics of a PDU, pass the 'target', 'user' and 'pass' parameter to the exporter's web interface. For example, http://exporter:9783/metrics?target=192.168.77.9&user=admn&pass=admn. By default, servertech_exporter runs in HTTPS mode and a valid certificate and key need to be passed using the --web.certificate and --web.key flags.

To run servertech_exporter:

./servertech_exporter [flags]

To view available flags:

./servertech_exporter -h

Promethues configuraiton:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: servertech
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - device1
    params:
      user: admn
      pass: admn
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: localhost:9783  # In this example, localhost is running servertech_exporter

Docker:

docker run --restart unless-stopped -d -p 9783:9783 -v /path/to/server.crt:/server/crt -v /path/to/server.key:/server.key tynany/servertech_exporter

The Docker containers expects the SSL certificate be located at /server.crt and the key be located at /server.key.
